Residential segregation is a well studied subject especially after the publication of the pioneering and seminal contribution of Duncan and Duncan (Am Sociol Rev 41:210–217, 1955). Considering the theoretical and methodological advances made since then, the contribution endeavours in describing and understanding the differences in residential segregation in an international perspective using 2011 population census data. The contribution analyses the residential segregation of migrants (here foreign citizens or foreign born) usually resident in the 493 Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) of selected European Union countries. The analysis is conducted using 2011 census data on regular grid (100 mt × 100 mt) provided by the Data Challenge on ‘Integration of Migrants in Cities’ (D4I) and refers to all migrants and to two sub groups (EU 28 and non EU 28). In a first step the levels and spatial patterns of residential segregation across all FUAs of France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands and the United Kingdom are analysed. Particular attention is paid to identifying differences and similarities between the FUAs, among and within the single countries. In a further analysis the relationship between the level of residential segregation in the metropolitan FUAs of the selected EU countries and contextual demographic and socio-economic factors are investigated. Results indicate that, even if, the larger metropolitan areas attract more migrants, the highest levels of residential segregation are observed in smaller urban areas. Moreover important national peculiarities emerge clearly with countries of northwestern Europe recording lower levels of residential segregation compared to the Southern European countries. Finally, residential segregation shows clear relationships with some contextual factors, especially the ones related to economic well-being and the labour market in a positive manner.

特别是在邓肯和邓肯的开创性和开创性著作发表之后（Am Sociol Rev 41：210-217，1955年），住宅隔离是一个受到充分研究的主题。考虑到此后在理论和方法上的进步，该贡献致力于使用2011年人口普查数据从国际角度描述和理解居住隔离的差异。该贡献分析了通常居住在选定欧盟国家的493个功能性城市区（FUA）中的移民（这里为外国公民或外国出生）的居住区隔离。该分析是使用“城市移民融合数据”（D4I）数据挑战赛（D4I）提供的2011年常规网格普查数据（100吨×100吨）进行的，涉及所有移民和两个子类别（欧盟28国和非欧盟人） 28）。第一步，分析法国，德国，爱尔兰，意大利，葡萄牙，西班牙，荷兰和英国的所有农民联合会的住房隔离水平和空间格局。特别要注意查明单个国家之间和内部的FUA之间的差异和相似性。在进一步分析中，研究了所选欧盟国家大都市FUA中的居民隔离水平与背景人口和社会经济因素之间的关系。结果表明，即使较大的都市区吸引了更多的移民，在较小的城市地区也观察到最高的居住隔离水平。此外，与北欧国家相比，西北欧国家的居民隔离水平较低，这显然也体现出重要的国家特点。最后，居民隔离与某些背景因素之间有着明确的关系，特别是与经济福祉和劳动力市场相关的因素具有积极的关系。
